I see 4 as best of them.. being fun to drive, crisp handling with right amount of realism. Loved the tuning options (old M5 with huge power with just street tyres). But having bought 5 on the new Xbox was dissapointed to find out the handling is just way off.
They´ve made it quite hard to drive without aids, which has been the trend for some time and I´ve liked. But on 5 they ruined gamepad controls -> steering from left->right the "wheel" is turning 2x slower than just releasing steering to center. For example cannot effectively powerslide because countersteering is always late resulting in a spin (mind you on controller I´ve been countersteering early on but in the game the driver just doesn´t want to turn the wheel fast enough to opposite direction) combined with general lagginess of control input.. Think I´m out of the Forza series.
Forza 6 is the first game of the series that havent bought. Tested the demo version and see they have made the steering little better.. sadly still lightyears off from how good it was on 3/4.
Only thing I hate about the new Forzas is that the car search from the first one has never been used on the later ones. It was a perfect search tool. The driving is always ok, the game is basicly car porn for me and the best way for me to keep up with the new cars (I recognize most 90's and older cars only thanks to gran turismo 1 and 2 xD). If you put "simulation" to the assist setting with controller, it is a fast steering, but fucking impossible to control with controller. I agree with the "normal" being waaaay too slow for counter steers nowadays, but I can live with it as long as I can build wheelie cars.
